Firewall setting at XP



it is an only ONE domain.

i set disable on firewall setting on every PCs by Group Policy.

Sometimes i find the firewall setting of these PCs are not effected, but
theses PCs will be effected after a few hours.

i wonder it is a matter with the update of Group policy cos i continue to
ping those PCs

when the firewall is disabled, then i can ping them
when the PC is OFF, then there is time-out
when the firewall is enabled, the ping will hold on.

How come those PCs are always between disabled and enabled? i have set it
disabled for year and no change so far. How come it goes back to enabled?

Any hints to me? thx.

Tony
